The wide angle distortion is a little distracting, but overall a nice photo.

A tad too much...my eyes arent drawn to one thing but bounce around the whole image.

Gorgeous church though.

Thanks for all the comments. A lot of people mentioned that they thought it was tilted. It was just the angle as I had my camera leveled. Thanks again everyone.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Good picture, well taken .. a couple of distractions that need a little work.

Composition:
The picture is skewed mildly and I think rotatation to correct this would have helped .. there is a slant .. I am not sure that line you rotated this to previously .. but the tower itself the open window and the frame are not straight - and this struck me on first viewing during voting.

Getting in the whole window frame may have helped .. or pushing the window as wide as possible to remove destration of the dirty glass and the handle ... Just a couple of ideas.

Subject:
Meets the challenge.

Technical (Colour and light):
I thinnk these are fine, but going from the comments received you may no longer .. check out what happens when the contrast is upped .. I think it may kill the picture .. but you never know.

To grow its vote?:
Just play around and see what happens ...

Summary:
Keep on trying you are improving all the time ... can't wait to see more.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Looks slightly off level, but this could be the waterfall actually angling away from you. I would have tried to level one of the lower terraces. Nicely captured blur and I like the B&W. A graduated ND filter would have been awesome for the sky. 7 for now.

I think some more midtone contrast in the water could make the waterfall really pop. The image itself has good dynamic range, but somehow the water looks a bit flat. That may have been the effect that you were going for, I realize. Nice composotion. I like how you shot at an angle instead of straight on and how you included the top of the arch in the frame.
